The image features a cartoon illustration of four cats holding signs. The background is a plain, light beige color. The cats are depicted in a stylized, cartoonish manner with bold outlines and simple shapes.
- The largest cat, an orange tabby, is in the foreground, holding a sign that reads "CHATGPT PREMIUM SHOULD BE FREE." It has a determined expression with its mouth open as if it's shouting.
- Behind the orange tabby, a gray and white cat holds a sign that says "FREE FOR EVERYONE." This cat has a serious expression.
- To the right, a smaller orange tabby cat holds a sign with an exclamation mark, conveying urgency or emphasis.
- The smallest cat, a black and white one, is in the bottom right corner, holding a sign that reads "CHATGPT PREMIUM SHOULD BE FREE." It has a grumpy expression.
The cats' expressions and the signs they hold suggest a protest or demonstration, with the message being that ChatGPT Premium should be free for everyone.

Free speech is one thing, but there should be consequences when said free speech can incite or fuel negative steroetypes, violence or villification of certain groups.
i am free to wave my hands, doing so results in you getting smacked, and that's assault, therefore I'm not free to wave my hands because we have laws against assault...
I cannot believe the government bans hand waving.
There is not a single country on this planet that has no legal consequences for free speech and it would be ridiculous to claim that should be the standard. For one, and I feel kind of pedantic for pointing this out, but that kind of policy would preclude any obviously consequential statements made in court proceedings, for example pleading "guilty", lying under oath, and confessing. Less pedantically, even in a version of the US where their so-far mythical conception of free speech was actually achieved, legal consequences are assigned to direct, material threats and attempts to cause panic. You'd be pretty hard pressed to claim these exceptions are unreasonable, and I'd go further to say that malicious attempts to incite hatred against a group should be included in unprotected forms of speech. It already is in many countries.
Maybe The Economist thinks these kinds of exceptions are ineffective but, personally, I enjoy living in a nation where people can't legally spew hatred at my face because the bible told them my life is wrong. I feel safer knowing that people throwing Nazi salutes during national holidays are prosecuted. I think it's quite interesting that the Economist feels the need to point the finger at Europe and call for "noisy disagreement" where "people should tolerate one another’s views" when the United States has pursued this exact policy and it has lead to little more than them being one of the leading contemporary examples of how an advanced democracy and economy falls into fascism and mass disenfranchisement.

アングル：足踏みの日本株、遠のく「日経4万円」 米関税で企業利益削られ | ロイター - WACOCA NEWS
日経平均が意外高したあと、戻り基調はいったん足踏み状態となっている。決算シーズンを通過する中で米関税リスクの織り込みが進み、１株当たり利益（ＥＰＳ）が低下。投資家は本格的な買い出動に二の足を踏んでおり、４万円回復には距離があるとの見方が優勢だ。焦点の関税を巡る日米協議で調整が難航するようなら、短期的には下方向に振れるリスクも指摘されている。WACOCA News Editor (WACOCA NEWS)

Giornata internazionale della #luce.
Candele, lampade e candelabri, oggi ritenuti semplici oggetti ornamentali, nel #Medioevo erano veri e propri simboli di distinzione sociale, oltre che uniche fonti di luce artificiale.
Chi si poteva permettere di possedere lampade e candelabri in oro e argento? Solo i ricchi, che li esponevano come simboli del loro #potere e #ricchezza.
Di ciò tratta l’articolo di #SSMD qui proposto.

The leader of Hungary’s main opposition party on Wednesday accused the government of “crossing a line” after it tabled a draft bill the previous evening to strip NGOs and independent media outlets of foreign funding, including EU grants, which would have a chilling effect on free speech and stifle criticism ahead of the 2026 general election.

L'immagine è un'illustrazione colorata che spiega il gioco antico del "Bis" e la sua connessione con la scrittura cinese. In alto, c'è un titolo che dice "IMPARO IL CINESE CHE È AVANZATO 83" e un sottotitolo che dice "A QUEI TEMPI ERA MOLTO POPOLARE IL GIOCO DEL 'BIS'." Viene descritto come il gioco veniva giocato sul terreno con una griglia 2x2 disegnata con un bastoncino. Un giocatore prendeva una ciotola di semi bianchi e l'altro una ciotola di semi neri. I semi bianchi iniziavano sempre per primi, alternandosi i giocatori dove dovevano posare un proprio seme all'interno di una casella vuota. Il primo che riusciva a mettere due semi in fila (anche diagonalmente) aveva vinto. Era consuetudine che i giocatori dei semi bianchi rispondessero sempre con un ripetuto movimento orizzontale della testa (da destra a sinistra e viceversa). Con il passare dei secoli, i giocatori dei semi neri si estinsero per mancanza di vittorie, ma il segno del gioco si è mantenuto nella scrittura cinese, con il significato di "campo coltivato" e la pronuncia "tián" (2° tono). L'immagine include anche dei personaggi che giocano al gioco, con dialoghi come "HEI" e "BĀI," e un riferimento al carattere cinese "田" (tián).

A questo pto, però....Posso chiedere quali sono le malattie della figlia?
La principale è la Sindrome di Ehlers-Danlos (zebra) che "si è portata dietro" la gastroparesi (bradipo), la miopatia delle piccole fibre, ed una latro paio di cui ora non ricordo i nomi. Inoltre ha anche un0Ecordosi che le causa mal di testa quotidiani. Insomma, un piccolo rottame 😆 Ma non molla e, pur con le sue difficoltà, fa una vita il più possibile normale (studio, sport, etc)
Io mi lamentavo (si fa per dire, eh, a questo punto...) della parentela relativamente stretta tra i miei genitori, cugini di secondo grado.
A causa di essa, non mi sono mai sposato e non ho avuto figli.
In realtà c'era , a suo tempo, un rimedio a questo problema:un'analisi genetica, che costava, a quel tempo quanto un'utilitaria. Ho lasciato perdere.
Auguri sentitissimi a tutti quanti , lì....
#fensterfreitag. Es gibt sie noch heute. Die original Holzfenster im DDR Platzenbau. Sogar noch mit dem Fahnenhalter für angeordnete Feierlichkeiten. Als Kontrast eine Etage darunter eine etwas zeitgemäßer Variante aus Kunststoff.
Das Bild zeigt die Fassade eines Gebäudes mit zwei Fenstern. Die Fenster sind in einem weißen Rahmen eingefasst und haben eine quadratische Form. Das obere Fenster ist halb geöffnet, während das untere Fenster geschlossen ist. Die Fassade des Gebäudes ist mit einem grob gestrichenen, grauen Material versehen, das eine Textur aufweist. Im oberen Fenster sind einige kleine Pflanzen oder Blätter sichtbar, während im unteren Fenster eine Statue und ein Blumenarrangement zu erkennen sind. Die Fenster sind von einer horizontalen Linie getrennt, die die Fassade in zwei Abschnitte teilt.
